Cultured Coconut Cream
This is a substitute and alternative to cream cheese. Depending on what you add to it you can make it into yogurt, icing, whipped cream, or use it as a filling. The base tastes like cream cheese with a touch of sweetness, complimented with coconut, when cultured for 36 hours. When cultured for a while longer it is much more tangy/sharper.
With fall and winter holidays coming up I will post more/better quality cooksnaps of it being used as a filling or as icing on some of my favorite seasonal foods/snacks.

Steps
- 1
Make sure all your cookware and cooking utensils are sanitized and non-metallic, as this can affect how the cultures in the Megaflora tablets react and it also affects the final taste.
- 2
For the Coconut Cream: refrigerate a can of full fat coconut milk for a few hours or overnight. Then take the can out, turn it upside down, take the lid off the bottom of the can, pour the clear coconut water out into a container (and save it if you wish), and then the white cream will be left.
- 3
Fix the mesh strainer over a bowl and cover it in the coffee strainer or cheesecloth, or fix the coffee strainer or cheesecloth to the bowl with a rubber band or duct tape. (If your cheesecloth is not very thick, fold it a few times). Set aside.
- 4
Combine the cream, the powder in the probiotic tablet, and the salt and mix together well.
- 5
Place the mixture in the cheesecloth or coffee strainer, cover the whole thing, and store at room temperature for 36-48 hours or until it cultures to desired taste.
- 6
Discard drained liquid and store the cultured cream in a container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- 7
OPTIONAL: to change taste or texture add honey (sweet and creamier), sugar (sweet and firmer), lemon juice (tangy and creamier), or fruit (depends on fruit and if pureed). These can be added before culturing the cream to affect the final taste and texture, and it will also feed the culture.
